Calculation question

Guest

Hi,
Below I have an excel equation that has served me well.
I need to put this into an Access query now.
Basically I take a given date and then add days to it based on the answer to
2 questions. Do they need core and What program.
So if they need Core and they are NSM then add 35 days....etc.
Please see below in Excel and if possible tell me how to get this into Access.
Thanks in advance
Ken

=IF(AND(D4="NPM",E4="Y"),C4+70,IF(AND(D4="NPM",E4="N"),C4+35,IF(AND(D4="CSM",E4="Y"),C4+84,IF(AND(D4="CSM",E4="N"),C4+49,IF(AND(D4="PM",E4="Y"),C4+105,IF(AND(D4="PM",E4="N"),C4+70,""))))))

Rather than If, Access uses IIf (Immediate If). Rather than And(cond1,
cond2), Access uses cond1 And cond2

That means you'd have something like:

=IIF(D4="NPM" AND E4="Y",C4+70,IIF(D4="NPM" AND E4="N",C4+35,IIF(D4="CSM"
AND E4="Y",C4+84,IIF(D4="CSM" AND E4="N",C4+49,IIF(D4="PM" AND
E4="Y",C4+105,IIF(D4="PM" AND E4="N",C4+70,""))))))

However, the D4, E4 type references don't make sense in Access: you need to
refer to the names of the actual fields.

Hi Ken - try just changing IF to IIF - I did not go over each step so might
or might not work - the only thing that might need to be changed are the AND
stmts, but I'm just leaving work now. Is worth a try.

Doug,
I put this as a field in a query. I get #error
Should I have put this in a form and used an AB box and have
it calculate on the fly?
I would prefer to see it in the query though.
Ken


ProjEndDate: IIf([Program]="NPM" And
[NeedCore]="Y",[StartDate]+70,IIf([Program]="NPM" And
[NeedCore]="N",[StartDate]+35,IIf([Program]="CSM" And
[NeedCore]="Y",[StartDate]+84,IIf([Program]="CSM" And
[NeedCore]="N",[StartDate]+49,IIf([Program]="PM" And
[NeedCore]="Y",[StartDate]+105,IIf([Program]="PM" And
[NeedCore]="N",[StartDate]+70,""))))))

What's NeedCore: text, or a Yes/No field? If it's a Yes/No field (more
properly referred to as a Boolean field), replace "Y" with True and "N" with
False (no quotes)

Yes it is a Yes/No field.
Here it is now....I put this in an unbound box on the form.
When I reopen the the last few True and Falses have "" around them.
Access put them in on some but not all.????
I was checking other posts and someone said And does not work in Access?
Is this true?

=IIf([Program]="NPM" And [NeedCore]=True,[StartDate]+70,IIf([Program]="NPM"
And [NeedCore]=False,[StartDate]+35,IIf([Program]="CSM" And
[NeedCore]=True,[StartDate]+84,IIf([Program]="CSM" And
[NeedCore]=False,[StartDate]+49,IIf([Program]="PM" And
[NeedCore]=True,[StartDate]+105,IIf([Program]="PM" And
[NeedCore]=False,[StartDate]+70,""))))))

I saw someone add a null on another site.
I added NULL to the end and for some reason it now works perfectly!!
Thanks so much Doug
here it is.
Test: IIf([Program]="NPM" And
[NeedCore]=True,[StartDate]+70,IIf([Program]="NPM" And
[NeedCore]=False,[StartDate]+35,IIf([Program]="CSM" And
[NeedCore]=True,[StartDate]+84,IIf([Program]="CSM" And
[NeedCore]=False,[StartDate]+49,IIf([Program]="PM" And
[NeedCore]=True,[StartDate]+105,IIf([Program]="PM" And
[NeedCore]=False,[StartDate]+70,Null))))))

And works fine in Access.

What exactly are Program and NeedCore: fields in a recordset, or controls on
the form?
